Can't they cook?

I enjoy cooking, so doesn't bother me.

Would prefer if we stayed in cloggers, as I can't be bothered with all that travelling for 1 day.

Not the worlds biggest fan of xmas.

Christmas plans

Christmas on the beach

New Year on a different beach

Thank you for asking. I hope yours goes well!

It's the first Christmas in our new house and I'm off for two weeks on compliance leave from the 19th to the 31st December. I've arranged with the missus that we're not doing any work around the house as we've both been working really hard this year so the plan is just to kick back and enjoy ourselves.

Hopefully that will mean lots of walks to the pub, having friends round and just relaxing. We have earned it this year.

On Christmas Eve we're meeting friends in Winchester and then on Christmas Day we've got the kids coming round for dinner. Boxing Day it's down to the pub for lunch then back to catch up on any telly and fall asleep.

We do a £50 Secret Santa so no mega-present-buying sprees.

So we will celebrate Christmas on the 26th (the younger child is too autistic to notice).

I'd have thought an autist might be rather particular about things like dates!

It's going to be a 'Smart-price' Christmas this year, what with the old man out of work again, and my rates well down on last year. It's tough with the kiddies wanting all the latest toys like their friends will be getting.

Have you checked he's taking any holidays? That's for permies, so I heard. If you need to take Christmas with your family, you probably aren't cut out for contracting.
